Finally, I have returned my A2000/IVS Vector '030 to a working state. In using
the new kernel I have a few quick questions.
First...
When using my Exabyte tape drive and retrieving information, I get a kernel panic
that dumps me into db>. It seems to be complaining about:
vfs_alloc...
db>
I know the message and it's registers are important, but I don't have them here
at work. I was just wondering what might be the problem, streamer not-buffered?
Something in st driver? Anyone's guess? :-)
Second...
When booting in multi-user mode, I am unable to "access" the tape drive. It complains
that the drive is not configured. I must be missing something, but I will ask the
stupid question anyway.
If I can access when I boot single-user, why can I not access it as any user?
NOTE:
If these "novice" questions should be propogated to another group, please
let me know, as I don't want to place too much of a burden on this
mailing list.
